Alex Sandro
Trending
Alex Sandro raised quite a few eyebrows when Juve paid Porto €26 million for his services. It was said to be too much money for a fullback, and many believed that Porto were jacking up the prices for their players as usual.
But Dani Alves, is another player who came under the same criticism when Barcelona paid Sevilla a princely amount for his services, and Alex Sandro could go on to have the same impact at Juventus.
Sandro is excellent going forward, and the chances he created in Serie A were by far the most by any defender in the division. His crossing is superb, and his defending doesn’t leave much to be desired either. Expect big things from him this season.
Dani Alves
What is there to say about Dani Alves that hasn’t already been said? The Brazilian will always be remembered as the player who changed how the full-back role was interpreted and the sight of him bombing down the right flank, looking to get on the end of Messi and Xavi’s passes will always be embedded in Barca fans’ memories.
It’s clear that he still has a lot to contribute and he’s been working hard in pre-season to ensure he’s in top shape for the new season.
With the quality of Miralem Pjanic and Claudio Marchisio in midfield, he’ll have plenty of service to embark on his lung bursting runs.
